RE: [MI-L] MapInfo Discovery

[MI-L] MapInfo changing table Projections: ED50
I'm working on a Turkish project for which I've been using the projection UTM ED50, Zone 36. However, my tables are all re-setting themselves from this UTM ED50 projection (ED50 in the top drop-down menu, Zone 36 in the lower option) to Turkish Coordinate Systems (ED50) Zone 33. This means that points I create using eastings and northings aren't displaying at those values, but are offset by some 30km to the west of where they should be. Does anyone have any experience of this? I realise that I could set the Turkish projection as the base table projection (although I'm not currently sure that is the correct projection, as I was told by my client it's European ED50, Zone 36), but why would MapInfo assume it's a different projection to the one I set?

[MI-L] Indian UTM Projections
Hi A client of mine is starting a new project, in India, and wants to use what he believes is the standard Indian UTM projection. He calls it something along the lines of Everest Grid UTM India-Bangladesh. Does anyone know if this is the same as the India Polyconic (Everest) coordinate system in MapInfo? Or if there's another one I should use? There's the India (WGS84), but I couldn't find any others, so wondered if there is a different one I should add.

[MI-L] Raster images in different coordinate systems
Hello I am currently working in an area which straddles the border of 2 UTM coordinate systems. Working with raster images registered in these systems, they don't quite meet, with offsets, gaps, overlaps and even different sizes where they should match up. Does anyone know how MapInfo displays the images in the same window? i.e. how one raster would be warped compared to the other one in the map window? Or how MapInfo deals with the second raster to be placed in the window when it's a different coordinate system? I know the map window projection can't be changed once a raster appears, and that it takes the projection of the initial raster, but what does it do with the second one?

MI-L Rectifying stereo aerial photos
Hi Listers A client of mine has purchased some hard-copy aerial stereo-photos and wants to scan them for use as a base layer in MapInfo. These photos are not rectified in any way for digital use, as they are designed for viewing in stereoscopic pairs. Obviously, the client is concerned about the distortion at the edges of the images - he is planning to use 5 photos for the area concerned. Once registered there is about 150m distortion at each photo edge. Placing vector layers onto the images is obviously going to be a problem as registration will be different for each photo image, so they will not currently display properly in MapInfo. Is there any software which will rectify the photos? (is this ortho-rectifying?). Or would specific rectified digital images need to be purchased for mosaicing in MapInfo? I have only used digital images, and have not tried using stereographic images for this purpose, so cannot advise. Any advice you may have for using these images in MapInfo would be most welcome. I will forward it to my client. Thanks Caroline -- Dr Caroline Hilton Pelican GeoGraphics Ltd UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.pelicangeographics.co.uk
SUM: MI-L Rectifying stereo aerial photos
Thanks to everyone for their advice. What rapid responses from a great group of people. Most people suggest ER Mapper will do the job of orthorectifying the images, other suggestions have been ERDAS, Intergraph ZI or Aerial 5 developed by Bradford University. However, most people also suggest that it would be much better to purchase properly ortho-rectified images as they won't be too expensive compared to the time and effort (and money) spent using the various software programs to do the job. I have passed all the information on to the client, and will see which they go for. Thanks for all your help Regards Caroline -Original Message- From: Photogrammetry GIU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 September 2004 10:19 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MI-L Rectifying stereo aerial photos Hi Caroline You are going to hit a big problem very rapidly of ground height and the high probability of the original photographs not being genuinely vertical. The best solution for you is to get the client to purchase orthorectified images (Distortions due to ground height, camera attitudes and lens removed and not cheap) that will be at a constant scale, such as UK perspectives, et al, imagery. This imagery can then be fed backwards through the relevant height dtm of the area to produce stereo imagery that is georeferenced. However any vector data that you wish to superimpose will also have to be converted to a raster format and height distorted so that it will lie on the stereo image, rather than float in a misregistered manner along side the stereo pair. I attach a cheap and cheerful stereo image of an area in Dorset, (subsampled to 5m or so) that illustrates a stereo pair. Note that the image is copyrighted to EN and UKp Software used in this case is Intergraph's ZI package.

Re: MI-L rtl file output from HP750c?

In my experience, using a HP650C, you can create two different plot files, an HPGL2 file and an RTL file. These files have nothing to do with the file extension you give them. When you check the box print to file... and when the file location dialog box pops up asking you for a filename and location to save the file, it defaults to a *.prn extension. You can change this or leave this as be. If you want you can put an *.rtl extension on there. But to force the print driver to create a RTL file, you need to have the process in computer... option checked to ...process in computer. This is accessed from the MapInfo File...Print command, select the Properties button next to your plotter name, click on the Advanced tab, and then check the process in computer option. Go back to the main print command screen and besure to check the print to file option. This will now create an RTL file, with any filename and extension you want. An HPGL2 file is created by normally printing to file, without checking on the process in computer option. The RTL file created will generate a large file, but for me, is the only method to get large raster imagery (especially transparent rasters) to print correctly.

MI-L Graphics problems in MI7
Hello all I am having trouble with my display (GDI apparently) in MapInfo 7. Does anyone know if MI7 uses a lot more graphics memory than older versions? The problem occurs when I have more than one application open - this did not used to happen with older versions. I am writing a training manual, and as such have MS Word, MI, and Excel open at the same time. Norton keeps telling me I'm running out of GDI resources, even though the files I have open in MI are both few, and small. I did have a similar trouble previously with large raster files not reallocating graphics memory on panning, but that was fixed by the recent patch. I'm using MI7 and Win98. Thanks Caroline ..

Re: MI-L More than 1 hotlink
Hi Jamie Have a look at www.geobasemap.com - they have an excellent product called ImageLinker which links any documents to GIS objects through a database, and the links are based on an object ID in the GIS table, not a path, so you can have as many links as you like and you won't have a messy MI table.

Re: MI-L Image catalog attached to map points?
Hi Jay GBM ImageLinker, by Exa-min (www.geobasemap.com), seems to be exactly what you're after. It attaches images via an ID, so as long as you have some sort of location ID relating to an object in your MapInfo table, if you add the same ID to the catalogue in ImageLinker, clicking on your object will bring up a filtered display of all the images associated with that object. You can then double-click on the image to enlarge it. For more details, see our website (details below), or contact me for a free 30-day evaluation. regards Caroline ..

SUM: MI-L MapInfo to ArcInfo
Last week I asked for advice on converting from MI to ArcINFO format. I had lots of useful replies, and would like to thank everyone for their advice. Most of you said to use ArcLink or Universal Translator, but I am using MI v6.0 and this feature isn't available in UT, so I will use ArcLink. Some people suggested exporting to .shp files, which ArcInfo can read, but as my brief is specifically to use e00 files, the following advice was particularly useful: Martin Higham said: ArcLink will do a pretty good job at building topology if you export a polygon layer. With shp this is just an extra step you would need to do once the data is in Arc/Info. Be aware that text objects don't exist ArcView so text objects will be converted to attributed points if you go the shp route. Also, you'll have to find some other way of translating all your symbology (object styles) out of MapInfo, since shp or E00 contain just geography and geometry information. George Smith said: If you are going to the latest version (ArcGIS 8.x) just make shape files with Utranslator. You will lose all style info. To make a geodatabase their new format you would have to have some form of Arc and FME, but you don't need to make that as shapes will work. Deepak Kaul said: You can use the FME from www.safe.com to convert from one format to another. Though you need to buy it. If you just want to convert to shp format, use the Universal Translator provided with MI to convert the TAB file to shp file. There is no loss in doing the conversions and you need not take any extra care while creating your TAB files. But do make a mention to your client about the projection system of the shp files you created for them, as shp files don't contain the projection information unless it is accompanied by the .prj file (the projection files) though it is not a mandatory files Andy Canfield also suggested using FME, for transferring to .shp files. Bill Wemple said: What you need to keep in mind with going to ArcInfo format is that ArcInfo is EXTREMELY strict with its topology. If you are creating data in MapInfo and you have digitized\drawn it somewhat haphazardly (e.g.: overshoots, bowtie polygons, self-intersections, etc) and you try to translate it to ArcInfo *.e00 format, ArcLink will throw it back at you since it must adhere to ArcInfo's strict topology requirements. The translation of the data has not been carried out yet, but as it'll be a while before I get it from the client I thought it best to summarise now. Thanks once again to you all Caroline ..

I've looked through the archives, but not really found anything of use. Is there anything to bear in mind whilst creating tables in MI, if one is intending to convert to ArcInfo once the tables are finished? (Is the ArcInfo format .shp files? or is that just ArcView?).

In my experience (and this may not happen to everyone!), transparent fills with the background shading off, as John suggested, are great for display, but can play havoc with your printing, particularly if you've got a large image.

MI-L Problem Building SQL on Access database
I am having trouble building queries on ODBC links, and I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this for me? Having gone through the setup for ODBC, making the table containing the coordinates mappable etc, and opening it in MapInfo, I am trying to use the BuildSQL tool which comes with MI. The trouble is, whenever I click on the 'tables' button which should list the tables in the database, I am presented with '`00`.`Alter ation`' instead of what I assume should be 'database_name.alteration' (where the alteration is the table I'm trying to select from). This has happened with all of the database files I've tried to link to, and obviously when the SQL is built using this it gives an error when executed. Anyone seen it before? cheers Caroline ___ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put unsubscribe MapInfo-L in the message body.

Re: MI-L linking tables
Hi Dan You could avoid having duplicate datasets at all by using a hotlinking program, such as MapLinker. Basically it was designed to do what you want to do, and it means that you can use your ID in your mappable field to link to a database record with the same ID. Therefore if you click on the house in MI, the corresponding access table will open and give you all the information you require, thus removing the need for duplicate information and allowing it to be updated whenever you need to. Unlike MI hotlinks, it also lets you link back from access to the corresponding map object in MI, and you can link numerous file types to a single map object (eg. a photo, an access form, a word document etc) If you are interested, contact your local reseller (details at www.geobasemap.coom) or have a look at our website (www.pelicangeographics.co.uk). regards Caroline * Dr C Hilton Pelican GeoGraphics London SE21 8ED [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.pelicangeographics.co.uk - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Franco P.

Re: MI-L Text Scaling
Martyn MapInfo is notorious for bad text sizing - the final size depends on the zoom of the window at which you originally set the text size. The way round it is to consider one of the third-party add-ons, which set the size of text for a specified final output scale. However, the only one I know of which does it is Discover, and it's only worth getting if you want to use some of the other functions as it is a bit expensive to consider just to solve this problem.

Re: MI-L moving workspaces
This can be solved if you don't use 'workspaces' as such, but use the cataloguing ability of MapLinker (previously known as Images+). The program was developed for this exact purpose, as the company had numerous requests to develop some sort of workspace assistant, so they got around the problem by setting up data catalogues instead. Now you just click on the image or set of images and layouts (from a directory tree) that you want to open, and if any of the files are missing it will get you to locate them and will adjust the path accordingly. In addition, MapLinker features hotlinking, so you can set up links between any of your map layers and other applications/maps etc. All of these links then appear in the catalogue, and with the added bonus of attached metadata in the catalogue, you and your colleagues will be able to find the data you are looking for without opening hundreds of different workspaces!

Re: MI-L Printing maps with Scale
Alessandro There are several third party programs to do this, the ones I know are GeoBasemap Mapping System and Discover. They are both excellent, but GeoBasemap is the cheaper of the two, and is probably more useful to you (Discover was written specifically for geologists). It allows you to set the paper size, then the scale, and draws a box around the area on your map window which will fit on the sheet. Then it changes the map window to fit the box and hey presto, your map is to scale. It has loads of other useful functions too.

Re: MI-L How to fix Save Window As problems with borders
There's a useful bit of freeware called ScreenSeize which allows the user to capture the active window/dialogue box etc (like printscreen, but it gives you options as to what you want to 'print'. It then allows you to save it as a bitmap. To get the window without borders, you can use the mouse to draw a rectangle around the area you want to capture.

Re: MI-L Linking MapInfo polygons to an Access database
Fair point, Justin. Congratulations on getting your links working using MapBasic. MapLinker and other similar software packages are around to make it easy for people not familiar with MapBasic, or for those who don't have time to iron out the bugs and want things working immediately. There is obviously room for both approaches, and it depends on one's requirements. That's the great thing about this list - the ability for people to solve each others problems in as many different ways as possible. The nice thing about MapLinker, I think, is that it is available in the MapX version for end users not familiar with MapInfo, and in this case works out a lot cheaper than buying lots of MI Pro copies and training users. By the way, is anyone else not receiving all the list messages? I didn't get the one I sent to the list a couple of days ago (below)! cheers Caroline - Original Message - From: Justin Elzik [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Map Info List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 11:11 AM Subject: Re: MI-L Linking MapInfo polygons to an Access database Hi everyone, oh and hello Caroline, hope everythings OK. Of course third party software is the easiest way of producing such links. However I though I'd mention that the DDE conversations that I mentioned a while ago can quite easily be held in either direction between MapInfo and Access, although I have not done this as its not necessary for our needs. It is also worth noting that Word, Excel, Outlook and pretty much any Office Application can accept a DDE conversation thus making it quite possible to link to text documents, pictures, send e-mail etc. I'm not trying to step on anyones toes, just letting people know what options there are because this is a really useful function. Justin --- Caroline Hilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bill It depends what you want to get out of the links. There is some third party software that does this linking for you, and as well as linking to access it allows links to other programs (word, excel etc, as well as jpgs and other file types). However, and more importantly, it also lets you link back the other way, so that you can have a record open in access and link back to the object in MapInfo, thus making it much more versatile than the code that Justin Elzik has developed. The third party software he mentioned looking into is the same as the one I'm talking about, and is called MapLinker (by Exa-min, in Brisbane). However, it is not so expensive and it really depends on what you want to get out of it. MapLinker also has another advantage, in that it allows you to catalogue data and avoids you needing to use workspaces, so has multiple uses.

Re: MI-L Grid N UTM36 WGS84
Both of the software packages 'Discover' and 'GeoBasemap' provide tools for adding grids to your map. The advantage given by Discover is that any grid can be overlain on a map, whereas most of the free tools you can get, and GeoBasemap, can only add a graticule in the same projection as the map window in question. This means that, say, you could put a local and national/UTM grid on a single map if you needed to show them both, or you can put a lat-long grid on a metric projection. see www.encom.com.au or www.geobasemap.com.index.html for more details Caroline * Pelican GeoGraphics London SE21 8ED [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.pelicangeographics.co.uk - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 6:18 PM Subject: MI-L Grid N UTM36 WGS84 We would like to create a UTM Grid with un distance of 10 000 m between the lines.

Re: MI-L MI: Thematic from multiple columns, how?
Gert Sorry for the late reply, I hope it's of some use! For your thematics, you could try an excellent add-on called Display Tools, made by Exa-Min, in Brisbane. One of its functions is to do just what you are after. It displays up to 4 variables from a single table, with the variables ranging in size and colour (as set by you). The thematic styles are saved in a template for repeated use, and are also set so that they are printed at a specific size for a given scale, so you know you can see them on your final map! What's more, it isn't hugely expensive, will save you loads of time (you don't have to change any of your columns, add extra columns etc), and it looks great.

Re: MI-L Why MapInfo is interested in Web Mapping?
Dear List, With reference to the MapXtreme pricing model debate - pricing per power unit or pricing per server. Doug wrote that MapInfo quoted that they have adopted the pricing per power unit because "..this is the way the market is going.." Does anyone have any elaboration on this as to how MapInfo have justified this pricing model? Is there a difference between the MapXtreme pricing within the UK and the rest of the world? What is the pricing? Thanks.
